At 1:20p.m. Tuesday June 29, 2010, uniformed officers responded to a report of a domestic argument at an apartment building in the 3600 block of Sandwich St. Upon arrival the officer observed a large crowd in the parking lot. One man was lying on the ground and a second man was standing near him holding a piece of wood. The officer ordered the man to drop the piece of wood. The man refused and began to swing the piece of wood at the officer in a threatening manner. The officer continued to order the man to drop the piece of wood but he refused to comply and eventually ran into the apartment building smashing a glass door with the piece of wood as he entered. The man laying on the ground then got to his feet and approached the officer threatening to assault him in the process. The officer advised him that he was under arrest at which point the man fled the scene on foot toward the rear of the apartment building.
